I can’t add any network storage in the app.
Neither with the new vault dialog nor with the adding exsisting dialog.
Help is much appreciated.

Welcome to the Cryptomator Community ,
you can find the solution in the following thread:
I have two hard disks: One with the operation system Debian 11. On this hard disk I saved the Cryptomator Appimage. On a second hard disk I saved my personal files as the safes of Cryptomator. The second hard disk is mounted on /media/festplatte device /dev/sdb1. Starting the Appimage Cryptomator finds pathes and safes. But starting the Flatpak Cryptomator doesn’t. I even can’t change pathes because Cryptomator doesn’t find them.

The provided solution doesn’t fix my problem.
Non of the dialogs showed me any network drive, cloud providers or the generic web-dav solution like the android app.
Did someone experience something similar?
Thanks in advance!

The desktop version of Cryptomator cannot access remote storages directly. See also
Hey Community,
to answer directly the topic question: Yes, they do.
But to answer directly a concern: It is not on the security/encryption side.
There are a lot of forum posts where it is at first unclear wether the people talk about the mobile applications or the ones for the desktop. But to actually provide help this is a crucial fact. Also there exist many questions why does this work on the desktop and not my smartphone. This thread wants to summarize the differences so that you directly …

Sorry to bother you with this. I must have missed that part of the FAQ.
Thanks for your support!
I will try to integrate that into the File-Manger of Fedora, which should have Web-DAV support.

No problem.
I don’t use Fedora, but if you are using the default setup with the GNOME desktop environment, then i suggest to use davfs2
instead of the Nautilus (default GNOME filemanager) WebDAV integration. The reason is a bug between Cryptomator and GNOME, such that Cryptomator cannot work properly with gvfs provided vaults. See also

## Basic Info
**OS**: ArchLinux, Linux Mint, Ubuntu 16.04
**Cryptomator**: 1.3.2, 1.3.5, 1.4.0-beta2
**Network storage**: Netgear ReadyNAS, Synology
## Description
On Linux operating systems, vaults located on shared network folders cannot be properly written to / read from. Files and folders can be created and deleted, but the transfer of data for reading or writing aborts with HTTP errors. Complete files that are already located in the vault cannot be opened for reading.
I suspected that the WebDAV mount doesn't work correctly, but the same problem occurs with FUSE in the latest beta.
The Windows version of Cryptomator works correctly.
## Attachments (optional)
I will add log files when I boot into Linux again (I'm currently on Windows where everything works as expected). Off the top of my head, file read/write operations caused HTTP errors and "Operation not supported" exceptions.
